Drawings in Charcoal and Graphite
International award winning artist, Mary-Anne Murphy creates intimate, sensitive and detailed works photo realistically in charcoal and graphite.
She is able to visually articulate the tenderness of life in her figurative works, landscapes and in a variety of other subject matter. Pottery Mary-Anne is a Woodstock Artist well known for her detailed pencil and charcoal drawings. Recently, she took up pottery and is enjoying the challenges of learning a new art form. Challenging myself creatively has taken me in many directions. The kind gift of a "beautiful pot" many years ago, has inspired me to turn left creatively, toward Pottery. Endless forms, textures and colours will keep me striving toward my own "beautiful pot". |
